Hey RRR,
I know I have tons of awesome reports from you check in on. But, I finally got some riding in with my bro and I'll write soon. Just wanted to say hi and glad to see you're still writing and riding during my absence. Will catch up soon. Rubber side down!

Seegmiller Mountain is a short side trip from the main dirt road from St. George to Mount Trumbull Schoolhouse. Good for a couple of hour round trip from St. George. Here's the Benchmark map:

Extra gas wasn't needed for this trip, but I often carry it on the AZ Strip. Never sure what opportunities might present themselves.

The turnoff to Seegmiller Mountain is well marked. Route #1069 is the main dirt road from St. George south, similar to a dirt highway. After reaching the top of Quail Canyon there is a modest descent to the left (east). The road becomes more dirt and less gravel. At the bottom of the short decline is the signed intersection to Seegmiller Mountain.

Dad and I got our schedules synched up. He's along on this ride. Always good to have partner on the AZ Strip.

Weather was overcast and blustery, but no real threat of rain. Turned out to be quite a good afternoon of riding. Thanks, Dad!

Some radio transmission equipment at the top of Seegmiller Mountain.

Warning sign. Didn't hang around here very long.

A short distance away still on the summit ridge line. Fantastic views down to the east. Lots of rugged terrain.

We skirted further around to the south and east of Seegmiller Mountain. Looking back. Radio tower visible on summit. Seegmiller Mountain is very recognizable from St. George, but not possible to see the radio tower without binoculars. East face of Seegmiller has some dramatic exposed red/orange/yellow rock.

Returning back towards Quail Canyon and Route #1069. Always great to be out with Dad!

Hope everyone is having a nice Thanksgiving weekend. I've been out almost every day with four nephews and one niece. We've mostly been on ATVs, easier for everyone to tag along. Also been out briefly with Pop once on motos. Pop is wife's dad, only in Utah for occasional visits. Very nice to be surrounded by family.

Pic of my Southern CA nephew (works for Pimco in Newport Beach). He was in St. George early. Off to Oklahoma for T-day with his girlfriend's family. The TW is a perfect bike for the occasional nephew ride.

On a different day I was out with this nephew, also a Southern CA guy. He's looking to take the LSATs and apply to law school shortly. Didn't want to risk a broken arm on the moto so we took ATVs to the Sand Hollow Sand Dunes. Also had neice and nephew from PA out on the sand dunes. They thought it was amazing. City kids . . .

Thanks for checking in. Appreciate several PMs wishing a happy Thanksgiving. Certainly lots to be thankful for. Best wishes to all for now, and the upcoming holiday season. Keep riding if you're in a place with good weather. Always make sure to eat a little dessert first -- not a bad plan. Be well, ride safely!

Hey Bob, I think Quota's Cinnamon Roll place, Sweet Pea Bakery & Cafe, is out of business. Link to page 6. Not good. Quota will have to find us a new place.

Sorry for taking so long to respond. Computer died at the end of October just as I was heading to St. George. Returned from St. George a couple of days ago and just bought a new computer tonight.

Although I had some nice riding, I've not come across a new, favorite place selling baked goods. I've emailed Mary, who was the owner of the old place, and get no response. Last I heard, her daughter was living in Cedar. Maybe I'll track her down and see if the business is somehow still operating in the area.
